I'm just hoping for good online interaction.

 

June seems so far away..

You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?

I guess you're talking about the parental control pin? (don't think there's any other)

Unfortunately as far as I know there's no further way to truly reset the console if you don't know the PIN, and you might want to contact the previous owners for the PIN.


I'm not 100% sure though, so it might be smart to wait for another person to reply.

Hmm..

You might want to have a look at this then:

Rather than scratches I'm more bothered by the everlasting fingerprints on the gamepad.

I've had it since wednesday despite being from Europe.

 

Hasn't it been out since the 19th in NA?

 

And aren't NA and EU servers connected for online play?

 

If so, I'm seriously worried. There's like 200 people online.

I really want that pumpkin armorset, it looks hilarious.

 

But damn, you really need a lot of rare commendations..

This will be my first MH game so I'm really looking forward to it, seen a few videos and it looks sweet.
Will it be better played with a large group?
If so I'll be adding all you guys as I'll no doubt need all the help I can get to begin with.

The monsters increase in strength depending on the amount of players. Like in Tri there'll probably be missions you HAVE to be in an online group for to play, though.

And overall.. Just playing with people is a lot more fun, in my opinion.

I do recommend getting a Wii U headset if you're gonna play online, connecting a keyboard to your Wii U and typing out whatever it is you want to say while fighting a giant dinosaur tends to get you killed.

Thanks for the amazing signature!

this IS an unofficial adapter

 

My wireless is incredibly slow on all my devices (including Wii U) but using the official Wii ethernet adapter the connection speed skyrockets to heaven.

 

If it's bothersome, I'd really recommend trying the official adapter. It's not that expensive if I remember correctly.

I'll try to add everyone as soon as possible!

I don't really give a rainbow.

 

I currently spend all my time enjoying Monster Hunter and Lego City, if they keep coming up with these totally-not-graphic-focused games that run fine on the Wii U and are mostly played by the Nintendo-type of people, then I'm fine with anything.

I'm just gonna buy wired, makes no difference to me.

This.

And if I remember correctly, you connect it to the gamepad. So it's not like the wires are in the way, either.

This crap really shouldn't get supported, Wii U is having it rough as it is.. Every person that decides to pirate a game instead of buying it, thus not appearing in the sales chart, is just helping destroy the game development for Wii U more, and more, and more.

collectibles are addicting

 

This! I think I've spent the last 10 hours, since I got to the main city, doing nothing but looking for collectibles, disguises and wrecking the city for super-build blocks.

 

This game is amazing, I didn't expect the humor to be so childishly adult, either. It's childish but a kid wouldn't get it, as there's a lot of references to movies, other games, etc etc

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I choose to spend 100% of my time indulging in fantasy worlds on my pc/consoles.

The demo is a terrible representative for the actual game.

 

In the actual game you have to build up your armor by gathering materials from these giant monsters, You fight a ton of them in different areas, there's towns, different quests aswell that don't always involve these monsters. Besides that the strong point of MH has always been the incredible community-feel it gives and the fun factor of the online gameplay, that's why it has never been as popular in NA/EU as in JP.

 

As for what you said. The graphics are mediocre because it's a direct "expansion" of the last game on the Wii (sort of). I don't see how the gameplay is extremely dated. The slow-sluggishness was intended and depends on your weapon aswell. Wouldn't be very fair if you were a wallclimbing ninja vs a giant-slow monster, would it? The control system is fine, it just takes time to get used to. As with a lot of console games. The camera system might be bad because you're just not used to controlling that like you have to in Monster Hunter.

 

Your points are all pretty valid considering the incredible failure of a demo they've put out. They should've added a multiplayer demo, that way you would really get to see the "power" of Monster Hunter.

This is why I ALWAYS discourage people to play demos for a future game from a series, the smarter move is to just pick up an earlier game from the same franchise to see what the game really is about.

 

They really ruined it for themselves with the MH demo though, Monster Hunter isn't a game you can just pick up and play if you haven't played it before, anyway. And then they further ruin it by just letting you loose in a mission like  you're instantly supposed to know what to do.

 

People arn't going to like your game when all they do is run around without knowing what they're doing, resulting in death by a giant monster.

Hmm, mine is pretty much glued to the Wii U and no issues so far.

I'll move it out of the way a bit as a precaution, though.

Thanks for the heads up

From what I've learned you really should just avoid confrontation in Miiverse.

There's a good chance that if you hadn't confronted the person posting hateful remarks, he would've gotten banned a few minutes after.

Miiverse is, mostly, a friendly community. Though there are trolls, racists, haters etc everywhere you shouldn't give them any attention if the rest of the community is actually worth talking to.

When you do get it.. Do yourself a favor and explore the whole game, there's a lot of sidequests and upgrading all your items will basically push you to "hunt" the items you need.

I did all this and still wasn't bored with the game, jumped straight into Hero mode (sort of like Master Quest) the moment I finished the game the first time.

Really, sidequests get overlooked a lot unless there's a huge emphasis on them like in Skyrim.. but they're so much fun in Skyward Sword.

Thousands of hours in SSBM and Pokemon Red/Blue.

And WoW, unfortunately.

I tend to be more polite online (not that I'm rude), since most of my online-time is either in games or on this forum. And at either one I'm looking for friendly people to play/chat with, not enemies.

Looks amazing, I'd definitely buy them.

I've loved my Wii U from the start.

 

The "game draught" everyone spoke about didn't apply to me.

 

Honestly, the whole "game draught" excuse seems more of a way to say "hey, I don't have money to buy more than 2 games for the Wii U so I need to be ABSOLUTELY 100% SURE that this is the perfect game for me before I buy it" which obviously doesn't apply to a lot of games, unless you've played it before.
